What do you think of the haga palace then? It´s empty and it´s close to the city... But it´s not as nice as ulriksdal, but it has some history, the king grew up there so maybe that could be an alternative, what do you think?

That´s a nice place too. Yes, it could be a very nice place to live in as well and it does hold a special place for the family.

This week's Svensk Damtidning writes that it has now been decided where Victoria and Daniel will live after they marry (remember folks, this is a weekly magazine, so things have to be taken with a pinch of salt, we don't know how true things are... although Svensk Damtidning is more reliable than the regular gossip rags, it doesn't mean they always know better).

They suggest that it has been decided that they will take over Villa Beylon after Princess Christina (the King's sister), who wants to move into a big apartment close to the Royal Palace (at the building at Slottbacken, where Prince Carl Philip lives) together with her husband Tord, sometimes next year. According to the magazine, they feel the house is now too big for them after all their children have moved away from home.

Villa Beylon is situated close to Ulriksdal Palace in Solna in Stockholm County, it's situated beautifully in the nature and has a big park and garden around it. If they will marry and would move there, I wonder about the security at the villa... Today it's not good at all, and even if the security police would put up fences and arrange for better security, it still lies close to the Confidence theatre where people attend theatre in the summers, and it has some houses close to it where people live. So they would have to put up a big fence which one can't see through, otherwise people could just stand there and stare (not me though )

i understand if christina and her husband what to live in a smaller place but would that villa be the best place for victoria and future husband

Well personally I'd prefer if Victoria would to move into one of the palaces with her future husband, and start a family there... But I can also understand that a young and growing family (which they would then be) may want to live in a more modern and homey environment. But we'll see, the future will tell...

I know the thought of Lilian not being around is awful, I think she's the most adorable and cute princess, but if she died before Crown Princess Victoria got married they could most likely take over her house.

It would be almost like Crown Prince Frederik took over his grandmother's house.

Prince Carl Philip inherited Villa Solbacken (the home of Princess Lilian) at the death of Prince Bertil, whom left it to him with his spouse's right to use it throughout her life.

So I think we're gonna have to look elsewhere for suggestions. Villa Beylon, the home of Princess Christina and her husband (who are moving out this year) has been one object of speculation in the press, but I'm sure there could be others as well.

Well I don't know I don't really see The King and Queen moving from where they have lived for over 30 years. Why can't Victoria keep staying at her apartment at the Palace? I am sure it is big enough. Maybe they will move to the Royal Palace.

The apartment at Drottningholm is an 2 rooms apartment. Definitely too small for a young family.

Maybe the king and queen would leave and Victoria and Daniel would live at Drottningholm or all 3 generations would live in the main castle (not an good idea IMO )

I don´t think, they would live in the Royal Palace of Stockholm. They both love nature. Victoria had lived there until 1981 and then her parents decided to move, because it wasn´t providing enough privacy and nature for the children.

I could imagine them living in some kind of villa at one of the Royal palaces. Villas like Villa Beylon, but as I´ve said yesterday mold and radon got detected in Villa Beylon and it got rented (or bought?) by Emma´s boss and he made it at least seem, as if he would wanna move there with his family after the renovations.

So everything seems open here. But just just as I´ve always said they would go for a "summer wedding", I´m also sure they will go for the "countryside"...
